Dendrimers are discrete nanostructures/nanoparticles with 'onion skin‐like'branched layers.
Beginning with a core, these nanostructures grow in concentric layers to produce stepwise …

Osteoarthritis, which typically arises from aging, traumatic injury, or obesity, is the most
common form of arthritis, which usually leads to malfunction of the joints and requires …

Cell adhesion to extracellular matrices (ECM) is critical to physiological and pathological
processes as well as biomedical and biotechnological applications. It has been known that a …

Recommended as a medical emergency, infectious keratitis with an acute and rapid disease
progression can lead to serious damage of vision and even blindness. Herein, we present a …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a very important role in regulating cell function and fate. It is
highly desirable to fabricate biomimetic models to investigate the role of ECM in stem cell …

The synthesis and study of the tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), the binding site of different
extracellular matrix proteins, eg, fibronectin and vitronectin, has allowed the production of a …

Mesenchymal condensation is a prevalent morphogenetic transition that is essential in
chondrogenesis. However, the current understanding of condensation mechanisms is …

Bone healing after a tumor removal can be promoted by biomaterials that enhance the bone
regeneration and prevent the tumor relapse. Herein, we obtained several nanopatterns by …

Cells sense their environment through the cell membrane receptors. Interaction with
extracellular ligands induces receptor clustering at the nanoscale, assembly of the signaling …

Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) dendrimer-based nanopatterns on poly (L-lactic acid)
were used as bioactive substrates to evaluate the impact of the RGD local surface density on …
